¿ªÔÆÌåÓý¡°Thanks to all.? ?Several of you have specifically requested that you be "indemnified".? ?That is exactly what you are NOT if I understand it right now; you might be, but it would depend on how certain Florida law etc is interpreted and you would likely need a lawyer to defend yourself.? ?If UF does what Mr. Dan D'Alesio says he can do, that will all go away and those who are identified as significant volunteers (I asked for up to 10) will be protected.¡± ? Well that¡¯s just it.? ??The only way UF gets the permission to use the knowledge is if you indemnify me/ My company¡ and I can¡¯t be sued.? If not, you still can¡¯t sue me¡ because¡ then¡ you used the knowledge without my permission¡. and therefore I had no control of it and still can¡¯t be sued.? We don¡¯t need Indemnity granted by UF.? Rather, by our statements, they need to decide if they want to use the knowledge.? Then it¡¯s automatic.? With my published/public indemnity use statement¡ I¡¯m safe, and so are the others that published theirs. ? I¡¯ve dealt with this many time when producing engineering designs for fortune 500 companies.? It always works out this way, and, in fact, ?there is a standard clause for it for preparing contracts (use it all the time).? The UF lawyers know this. ?Even if UF indemnifies us, they still take no risk unless they move forward and either try to license the technology or build products themselves.? If they just publish papers and the design (with the same indemnity clause specified for themselves) everyone in the chain is just fine. ? This isn¡¯t really a big deal.? UF now needs to match what this design will become with what the lawyers can tolerate.? The rest of us have done everything we need to do.? This was probably too much on the subject and I apologize for the bandwidth¡. ? ? ? Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ ?
